Forty years ago the Thirteen Districts of Panem waged war against the Capitol, Twelve of which emerged from the ashes of the Rebellion with the Capitol crowned Victor. As a reminder of the District’s attempt to overthrow the elite, the Capitol put forth an annual punishment whereby one male and female between the ages of 12-18 years old would be chosen from each District at a public Reaping. The two “tributes” would be delivered to the Capitol where they would compete in a fight to the death that would come to be known as the Hunger Games.
While the lone Victor escapes with their life and is spoiled with all the riches, fame and glory the Capitol could offer, their lives in the wake of the Hunger Games is never quite the same. Some are left with physical, mental and emotional scars that will plague them to the end of their days, others embrace their new title and lifestyle as “Victor” and indulge in their spoils of bloodshed, while few come to dedicate their renewed lives to bettering those of their fellow peers out in the Districts, as well as attending to newly Reaped tributes year after year as they either follow in their footsteps, or fall.
Tale of the Districts is a para-based AU-Hunger Games roleplay that explores the lives of Panem’s Victors. Players will be able to develop their Victors life prior to, during and in the wake of their time as a tribute in the Hunger Games. This includes a number of writing prompts and tasks, forming connections with other Victors both within and outside one’s own home District, Capitol citizens, and additional plot drops and events that will be posted on the main.
Happy Hunger Games! And, may the odds be ever in your favour….

Evening.
As some of you know (or have gotten the inclination), we are going to be putting the game on hold for a little bit. It’s something we really do not want to have to do with the Arena so near, however, at the moment we have less than ten active players and it wouldn’t really be a long game with so few of you.
With that in mind...
If you are interested in continuing with us when the game resumes, please message us the best way to get in touch with you (personal URL, kik, email, etc.) We will send you a PM when we are ready to resume.
In addition, for those of you who had to drop at any point during the game, we are happy to take you back so long as you catch up with where we left off. (details to follow once we pick up again)
If any of our actives can pass the message along to anyone who has dropped, we’d appreciate it!
In the mean time, our friends over at acapitolpunishment plan on running their second season sometime next month, and thebloodypageant in the future as well. Check them out and give them a follow!
We thank you again for your understanding and cooperation. Again, this isn’t something that we wanted to do, but we can assure you we have a helluva Arena planned when we pick up!
Until then,
-GM’s Rosaline, Gattin and Caelum.

Mandatory Task: P R I V A T E T R A I N I N G
It’s your time to shine in front of your Game Makers and sponsors as you enter the training center to showcase your skills and talents one last time.
You will have access to all of the stations in the training center as well as stationary targets, holograms and the assistance of up to two trainers. There are a number of Peacekeepers stationed along the walls and they will intervene if they deem it necessary.
We know where you have trained and what your tribute’s strengths and weaknesses are. Stay true to your character, utilize their strengths and skills, and be creative! If we see that you are attempting something outside the realm of your tribute’s capabilities you will receive a low score.
You may request ONE special item to use for your private training. Please send us a message for approval!
Submit to us in the 3rd person your tributes private training session. You will have 3 OOC days to complete this task, due Saturday, November 7th by 11:59pm PST.

Evening all.
First off, all three of your Game Makers would like to thank you all for applying to be a part of our first season. We’ve loved getting to know your characters and reading your tasks, and look forward to seeing each one of you develop over the remainder of the game. We know activity has been light as of late, and we therefore propose the following:
1) We are going to give everyone an extension for training OS’s and paras until Wednesday, November 4th at 11:59pm PST. By then we would like to see at minimum four training tasks done and a status update. Remember, the skills you train in will affect your private training score, the bloodbath and kill stories.
2) Private training will be posted on Thursday, November 5th. You will be given 3 OOC days to complete the task. Failure to complete private training will result in your character being added to the kill list for the bloodbath.
We do not want to have to resort to postponing the game, the Arena wouldn’t be that much fun with so few of you playing. If you plan to continue with acrimsontrial please like this post, and if you will not be moving forward with us please send us a message.
We thank you all again and hope you will be sticking around for the conclusion of the game.
-GM’s Rosaline, Gattin and Caelum.

Optional Task: S P O N S O R A P P E A L
In an attempt to move the odds in your favor, each tribute is eligible to directly contact a potential sponsor in the form of a written appeal. Each sponsor has already expressed their interest as to who has caught their eye, but that doesn’t mean you have to appeal to them alone. You are free to appeal to any sponsor, but you may only choose one.
In your appeal, address one of the six sponsors in a bid to gain their favor and show that you possess the qualities they look for in a tribute to aid in the arena. Remember, they will be watching you during both your public and private training sessions, another factor they will undoubtedly consider when selecting who has ultimately fallen in their good graces.
Please submit your sponsor appeals before the end of public training. Remember, this is not a mandatory task, but you may not be considered by your sponsor in the long run if you do not take advantage of this opportunity.
You have until the final day of public training to submit this task. If you have any questions about the appeal or a specific sponsor, feel free to ask. Good luck!

Mandatory Task: T R A I N I N G D A Y #1
Rise and shine, tributes, today is the first day of training! Some of you are walking in well-prepared, others with an idea of where your strengths and weaknesses lie, others encountering the available options for the first time.
As you enter the training center you are greeted by a variety of stations to help prepare you for the Arena. In a small balcony your Game Makers and prospective sponsors are given a bird’s eye view of the floor. There are also several armed Peacekeepers stationed along the walls.
You are gathered and briefed by the head trainer, Alana Maddox,
“The training facility opens at 9am and closes at 8pm. You are free to use any of the available stations for as long as you would like, there are trainers available should you need assistance. I suggest that you divide your time between stations, relying on one skill alone will not see you through the Games.
There are several rules to abide by during your time in the training center. 1) There is to be no fighting with any of your fellow tributes, you will have plenty of time in the Arena for that. 2) Do not damage Capitol property. 3) Do not disrespect your trainers. 4) There is to be no inappropriate behavior in the Training Center, and I do not think I need to elaborate as to what constitutes as ‘inappropriate.’
Failure to abide by these rules will result in severe consequences, and that goes for the Tribute Center as a whole.”
You are then dismissed to begin your training, the available stations can be found here. You may choose to train with others, under the guidance of the available trainers, or explore your skills and abilities on your own. It is mandatory that you train at least twice over the course of the day and do not exceed fourteen total stations during the public training period.
In addition to the training center you are free to interact in the lobby, cafeteria, roof, and suites.
You have 3 OOC days to complete your first day of training, due by Monday, October 26th at 11:59pm PST. Tag all oneshots and paras as acttraining1

Angel entered the ballroom with the rest of her team, her signature smile plastered across her face and ecstasy coursing through her. The roar of the crowd, the adoration of the Capitol, it’s exactly the type of welcome she had anticipated, and why should she have received anything less? She was royalty after all, a princess destined for the crown.
It didn’t take long for the crowd of Capitolites to notice the blonde’s entrance, the only other tributes present being the pair from One and her own partner, and almost immediately Angel found herself in the spotlight. Decorated men and women greeted her with enthusiasm, complimenting her performance in the parade and outfit, recalling the accomplishments of her mother and father, the Medici’s before her, and the girl’s own triumph over the revolt that befell her home District years ago.
At least they know what she is capable of, that she was not a poor, orphaned girl incapable of defending herself.
Angel glided from person-to-person, shaking hands and absorbing their words until she caught sight of a man approaching that failed to match the Capitol crowd in appearance, someone she only knew by his reputation as a Victor and more importantly, a Game Maker. Gattin Sykes. She wouldn’t deem him worthy of the former title by the standards out in Two, he was more of a survivor than a Career, but nonetheless she excused herself from her latest fan to meet the Game Maker.
“Mister Sykes. Charmed I’m sure.” she smiled politely as she dipped into a curtsey, “I’m Angel de Medici.”
“Of course.” he replied with an easy smile as he extended his hand to the girl, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, dear. Would you care to join me for a drink?”
Wow, just look at those eyes, Angel thought to herself as she felt her face warming, “I would love to.” she replied as she walked beside the Game Maker. As much as she enjoyed entertaining the Capitol men and women she was relieved to be beside someone who carried more of a reputation, soon to be her fellow Victor. Beside, he was easier on the eyes compared to the colored folk, and she found herself walking straighter, hoping he was admiring her body as much as she was him.
“How are you enjoying your time in the city? It can’t be too dissimilar compared to Two given your status.” Gattin spoke.
Her heart skipped a beat. He knew who she was, her reputation. Maybe she could just as easily wrap him around her finger the way she had the other residents of her District, “It’s everything that I thought it could be and more.” she beamed, “The Florentine Palace couldn’t compare. Have you ever seen it?”
“From a distance.” Gattin said, “I’m usually on a tight schedule whenever I pass through the Districts, but I’ll try to make a detour next time I’m there.”
“I’d be honored to give you a private tour next time you pass through.” Angel said, turning to the bartender after he had made the Game Maker a drink, “Bourbon, on the rocks.” she requested.
“A bit hard for a girl like you, yea?” Gattin smirked.
“What can I say, I have a good taste.” Angel laughed slightly as she took her drink.
“Well then,” Gattin held his glass out towards her, “May the odds be ever in your favor.”
Angel touched her glass to his and took a sip, the alcohol elevating her spirits as she found herself fortunate enough to have and hold onto the Game Makers attention as the ballroom began to fill with the remaining tributes.
“Come, I want to introduce you to someone, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you know them already.” Gattin said, motioning for her to follow as they approached Natalia and Caelum, the two women chatting idly about the parade.
Movement in her peripherals caught the ex-peacekeeper’s attention and Natalia glanced over as the small group approached, a wry smile coming to her face as she recognized the young tribute that was accompanying Gattin. Beside her Caelum gave a nod of acknowledgement as she sipped on her drink but for once said nothing, her interest in the sequence of events to come overshadowing her inclination to speak.
“Evening, Sykes.” Natalia greeted, grasping the Game Maker’s hand before turning to the tribute, “And you must be Angel de Medici. I’ve heard a lot about you, stunning performance you had out there. I knew there was a reason you caught my eye.”
Angel grasped her hand and gave a polite curtsy, “Ms. Guerro, you’re making me blush.” she giggled before taking another generous sip of her drink. Not only did she have the undivided attention of two Game Makers, but now a sponsor as well. She knew all the right things to say, jokes to make and when to laugh-
“You alright there?” Gattin asked seeing Angel blink her eyes in a quick repetition.
“Oh, yes. It must be all the excitement.” she replied, maintaining her smile. A wave of heat flushed over the Career girl and for a moment she thought she felt herself grow dizzy. She took a sip of her drink and joined back in the conversation with the pair as if nothing had happened.
Until she felt a small knot form in her stomach and goosebumps rise over her exposed skin.
“You sure you’re okay, sweetheart?” Natalia asked with a smirk, one brow raised in expectant doubt.
“Oh, yes, I’m-”
“Here,” Gattin said, taking the empty glass from her hand and giving it to a passing Avox, “Get her a glass of water.”
“Is everything alright?” Angel heard Pavel say as the mentor came over to her.
“Might have had a bit too much to drink.” Gattin said quietly into his ear.
“No, really, I’m fi-” she began to protest as nausea finally took hold of her and a cramping sensation filled her abdomen. She did her best to hold her posture and for a brief moment she entertained the idea of excusing herself.
“You’re not looking so hot, ki-” she heard Natalia began to say, her words cut off as Angel doubled over and a stream of vomit fell from her mouth, coating the floor and Natalia’s dress and shoes.
The ballroom fell near silent, the scene drawing the attention of nearly everyone in the room, tributes, mentors, escorts and Capitolites alike, “Shit, Angel-” Pavel began.
Natalia let out a bark of laughter, unbothered by the vomit now coating her feet. Angel may have been a top choice of hers, but it seemed now the girl would have to prove her worth with whichever sickness Gattin dreamed up. Nat wasn’t going to count her out yet, but the girl was definitely facing an uphill battle. Of course, those were Natalia’s favorite to watch anyway.
Beside her, Caelum rolled her eyes having just barely missed the spray herself. “…Lovely…” Unlike her friend, she was less amused by the predicament, at least with the vomit so close to her.
“I’m fine.” Angel protested again as she covered her mouth with one hand and held her stomach with the other. She didn’t know whether to feel more angry or embarrassed for what had just happened in front of an entire room of people and instinctively pulled away from her cousin who had come over to check up on her.
“Here, let me show you where the bathrooms are.” she heard Gattin’s voice above her. Of the two she preferred the Game Makers company, and offered him a simple nod as she took a towel from an Avox and eagerly followed him from the ballroom.
“If it makes you feel any better, you’re not the first to get sick like that in public. The year I volunteered a few tributes let themselves go more than they should the night before the launch and well, you can imagine what happened when the countdown reached zero the next day.” Gattin said as they walked away from the life that resumed in the ballroom, “Look at it this way, you made a name for yourself.”
Angel felt a hint of annoyance at the Game Makers joke, but eased when she saw a smile on his face and couldn’t help but let one slip herself, “I’m so embarrassed…”
“It happens. It’s over and done with. Just don’t let history repeat itself.” he said as they continued down the hall and paused just outside a pair of doors presumably leading into the bathrooms.
“Noted, and, thank you.” she said with a small smile as she began inside, only to pause when she found the room empty, save for a single chair and screen mounted on the wall, “Hey-!”
“Move.” she heard Gattin growl behind her as she was forcibly shoved forward, nearly losing her footing as he grabbed her shoulder and forced into the chair. Angel winced on impact and met Gattin’s eyes as he moved in front of her, a cold gaze now replacing his once easy demeanor.
“Did you really think you were going to get away with that little stunt you pulled at your Reaping yesterday?” he said, “I have more respect for those who fight for the opportunity to volunteer. What you did was nothing short of a weak display of entitlement, but then again they say that poison is a coward’s weapon of choice. At least that’s one title you were able to live up to.”
Anger swelled in her chest, “How dare you! Do you know who I am, who my family is-?” she began to rise to her feet, only to fall back into the chair as a dizzy spell befell her.
“I know well who you are, and who your family is…or should I say, was.”
The screen lit up with an image that caused Angel to shrink back into her seat, a hand clasped over her mouth and eyes wide in terror.
The Florentine Palace laid in ruins: it’s elaborate windows shattered, graffiti scrawled upon it’s walls and signs of vandalism at every turn, and a small crowd assembled chanting for the downfall of her family’s name.
“It turns out the rest of your District didn’t find your little stunt amusing either. You really should have considered the possible repercussions for your actions before setting them in stone, but then again, what’s a little collateral damage to achieve what you believe you’re entitled to, or as you put it ‘someone has to pay the price?’ Pride always does come before a fall, but in your case, let’s hope history doesn’t repeat itself. Last I recall, royalty doesn’t fair well in the Games, save for your half-brother.”
Angel slowly rose to her feet. It was gone, everything was gone: her home, her lineage, everything she had worked hard to achieve, everyone-
“Where are-” Angel murmured over a belch as her hand immediately snapped back up to her mouth, quickly shuffling for a nearby trash bin and emptying the contents of her stomach once more.
“It’s a shame the infirmary is closed for renovations, not that they’d be able to do much for that strain of the flu you seemed to have picked up. It’s just a nasty stomach bug, you’ll feel run down, achy, an occasional dizzy spell, vomiting. I suggest you go straight up to your room and get some rest, you’ll need all your strength for training tomorrow. Fortunately it isn’t a contagious strand, so you will be able to train with the other tributes without the risk of spreading it. As long as you don’t overwork yourself you should be back to full health by the second day of training.”
Angel coughed and composed herself, “You can’t-”
“I can’t?” Gattin grabbed her throat and forced her attention towards him, “I am only going to say this once, girl: I can make what could be the last days of your life very miserable. That choice is up to you alone, and if you think you’re entitled to any sort of royal treatment by myself, my associates, or anyone else in this building, you are severely mistaken. Your sense of entitlement ended the moment you volunteered, and right now, you’re nothing more than a fool in our court. Do I make myself clear?” he said coldly, his face void of expression before he released the girl and threw her to the ground.
“As I was saying, you really ought to go straight to your room and rest up for the night.” Gattin spoke, his demeanor softer than a moment before.
Without another word Angel snapped to her feet and fled the room. Luckily her trip up to the second floor was quick and the apartment empty when she arrived as a dull throb of a headache began to settle in. She bypassed the Avoxes who offered her aid and made straight for her room, where she locked herself in for the remainder of the night.
